Car Accident

Marin vs Ganuelas

Twenty-two year old Michelle Marin was rendered in a persistent vegetative state when her Honda was rear ended on the 10 Freeway in West Covina. Her stationary vehicle was struck at 60 miles per hour in the rear, causing Ms. Marin’s spine fractures and severe traumatic brain injury. She is now unable to care for herself, or even interact with her 5-year old son.

In September 2012, 23-year-old Rosanna Moreno was critically injured when the car in which she was riding as a rear passenger struck a pickup truck that was parked alongside the road on a residential street in Riverside, CA. The pickup truck had a trailer attached.

Emilio, 5, suffered a brain injury when his family’s minivan was rear-ended by a pickup truck. The other family members suffered minor injuries. The Defendant had a 50/ 100 liability policy with Civil Service Employee’s Insurance Company. The family’s original attorney sent a demand that went unanswered. CSE then belatedly offered the policy & later claimed they misplaced the demand.

Good Lawyers want what’s best for their clients

In our almost four decades of experience handling personal injury claims in Southern California, we’ve come to understand the handful of essential questions we almost always receive at the beginning of an attorney/client relationship. The lawyers at DeWitt Algorri + Algorri, PC are here to answer your questions and to talk about your specific case more in-depth during a free case evaluation with one of our attorneys. In the meantime, we hope this brief FAQ section gives you an idea of what to expect during a personal injury claim:

How much do your services cost? We work on a contingency-fee basis, which means you don’t pay anything unless we win you financial recovery. This system ensures that everyone has the ability to retain top-quality lawyers for cases that matter the most. You’ll know exactly what our fees are (what percentage of your recovery we will use for our fees) prior to retaining any of our attorneys.

An insurance adjuster has contacted me. What do I do? Insurance claims adjusters may call you as soon as the day of a car crash or other accident. If this happens, do not record a statement with the adjuster or accept the first settlement offer. The adjuster is not on your side, but the side of the insurance company. Talk to our lawyers before you say anything to a claims adjuster.

Does my claim have merit? We will need to talk with you further about your case to answer this, but we can tell you that most personal injury claims require four main elements: 1) the defendant owed you a duty of care, 2) the defendant breached this duty, 3) the defendant’s breach caused the accident, and 4) you suffered damages.

How much is my case worth? Again, this answer will depend on the unique circumstances of your individual claim. Our lawyers work hard to maximize your compensation through hard-hitting settlement negotiations or sessions in the courtroom. You may be eligible to recover your accident-related medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage costs, on top of non-economic losses such as pain and suffering.

I’ve been in an accident. Now what? After an accident in which you or a loved one has suffered serious injuries, stay calm and call 911. Request an ambulance and receive medical care right away. Keep track of important details such as the contact information of any eyewitnesses. Call your insurance company and report what happened. As soon as you can, call (855) 946-6464 to get in touch with our office.

The sooner you speak with one of our attorneys in Riverside or San Bernardino, the better. We can help you know what to say and what not to say to insurance companies, and whether you have grounds to file a personal injury or other claim against the party responsible for your accident. Our team wants to help you through this difficult time step by step. When in doubt, talk to one of our lawyers to discuss your accident in a complimentary, no-obligation consultation.

Our cases are taken on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay attorney fees unless we obtain compensation for you.

When you are dealing with your own health issues or the loss of a family member, you may not feel ready to handle the legal complexities of pursuing an injury or wrongful death claim. Nor should you ever try to do this on your own. A skilled, professional, and compassionate personal injury attorney can relieve you of the burden and stress of handling a legal action, while offering you the best likelihood of seeing a significantly larger damage award than you would typically get by attempting to negotiate your claim directly with the insurance company.
